Here easy answer from online

In scientific contexts, mass is the amount of "matter" in an object (though "matter" may be difficult to define), whereas weight is the force exerted on an object by gravity.

Answer:

So mass is the amount of matter in an object, but weight is the amount of force that is being applied to your body from gravity.

Mass does not change unless you change your person like your haircut, fingernail length, ect.

Weight changes depending on your mass, because the heavier you are, the stronger the gravitational pull on your person will be, which increases your weight.

That is why if you go onto the moon, for example, your weight is different, since the gravitational pull is weaker than on Earth, so you weigh less.

A pump jack scaffold must be fitted with two ______ gripping mechanisms to prevent slippage.
FromTheMoon [43]
A pump jack scaffold must be fitted with two positive gripping mechanisms to prevent slippage. Pump jacks are a uniquely designed scaffold consisting of a platform supported by movable brackets on vertical poles. The brackets are designed to be raised and lowered in a manner similar to an automobile jack. It is important to make sure that pump jack brackets have two positive gripping mechanisms to prevent any failure or slippage.

With 51 gallons of fuel in its tank, the airplane has a weight of 2390.7 pounds. What is the weight of the plane with 81 gallons
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer: 2561.7 pounds

Explanation:

If we assume the total weight of an airplane (in pounds units) as a <u>linear function</u> of the amount of fuel in its tank (in gallons) and we make a Weight vs amount of fuel graph, which resulting slope is 5.7, we can use the slope equation of the line:

m=\frac{Y-Y_{1}}{X-X_{1}}  (1)

Where:

m=5.7 is the slope of the line

Y_{1}=2390.7pounds is the airplane weight with  51 gallons of fuel in its tank (assuming we chose the Y axis for the airplane weight in the graph)

X_{1}=51gallons is the fuel in airplane's tank for a total weigth of 2390.7 pounds (assuming we chose the X axis for the a,ount of fuel in the tank in the graph)

This means we already have one point of the graph, which coordinate is:

(X_{1},Y_{1})=(51,2390.7)

Rewritting (1):

Y=m(X-X_{1})+Y_{1}  (2)

As Y is a function of X:

Y=f_{(X)}=m(X-X_{1})+Y_{1}  (3)

Substituting the known values:

f_{(X)}=5.7(X-51)+2390.7  (4)

f_{(X)}=5.7X-290.7+2390.7  (5)

f_{(X)}=5.7X+2100  (6)

Now, evaluating this function when X=81 (talking about the 81 gallons of fuel in the tank):

f_{(81)}=5.7(81)+2100  (7)

f_{(81)}=2561.7  (8)   This means the weight of the plane when it has 81 gallons of fuel in its tank is 2561.7 pounds.

What happens to the boiling point of water as you climb higher up a mountain?
Maksim231197 [3]
The higher the pressure, the higher boiling point of water. At lower the pressure, the boiling point of water comes down. So, the lower pressure inreases the boiling resulting more evaporation. As we go higher in altitude, the atmospheric pressure decreases. This results in decreasing the boiling point at higher altitude and increase in boiling of water. In fact, at the sea level ,the the sea water boils at 100 degree C where atmospheric pressre is normal. However , the boiling takes place at a lower temperature at the top of a mountain due to low pressure. In other words the boling is faster at the top of a mountain than that at its foot.
